Image Maps in HTML Email

[fozail]

Hi Guys,

I have an issue. I sometimes send out these HTML emails and the procedure I follow is that I create an HTML page in Dreamweaver and the from IE I use the File>Send>Page by email feature and then send it from outlook.

But I have two problems with this. I need to link the images, now if use image maps, it does not work in outlook 2003 for some reason. When I view the source it totally removes the image map code and so the image maps are not in there. Instead if I slice down the images and then make individual image a link. It breaks down in Mac's Entourage. I shows the image and then the link next to it e.g [image] www.XXXXXX.com.

Can someone please help me resolve this issue.

Thanks very much

Some email clients strip tags like those for an image map, because they aren't "expected" as regular text; others strip the image/href association as part of a default security setting.
